To some extent it depends on where it is.
If it's inside the orbit of Neptune, it's probably an asteroid (though it could be a centaur or a trojan if it's in certain very specific places).
If it's outside the orbit of Neptune, the generic term is trans-Neptunian object or TNO. There are certain specific types of TNOs: plutinos, twotinos, cubewanos, Kuiper belt objects, and scattered disk objects, all depending on what kind of orbit they're in.

A small spherical object orbiting the sun would be called a planet, asteroid, or comet, depending on its characteristics and orbit.
What is the name of the small lumps orbiting the sun?

What is a small rocky?

The really small rocky bodies June we found orbiting between Mars and Jupiter unknown is what?
The small rocky bodies found orbiting between Mars and Jupiter are known as asteroids. This region is called the asteroid belt, and it contains millions of these objects, varying in size and composition. Many of these asteroids are remnants from the early solar system that never coalesced into a planet. They provide valuable insights into the formation and evolution of our solar system.

What is a small planet going around a big planet called?
A small planet going round a big planet is called a moon. Like our moon, it is smaller than Earth - so all planets orbiting round a bigger planet is called a moon.

A rock or minor planet orbiting the sun?
A rock or minor planet orbiting the sun is typically referred to as an asteroid. Asteroids are rocky remnants left over from the formation of the solar system that orbit the sun. They can vary in size from small rock fragments to large bodies several hundred kilometers in diameter.

It is not small and rocky, it is a gas giant!
